Yes, and his brother Jim wasn’t all that bad either.

Sadly though, their little brother, Bertie, never seemed to catch on.

[Todd Terry] “Have you noticed that Van Morrison is one of those people whom is only and always called by his full name?”

Kinda like Lee Harvey Oswald.

Thanks for the link. I saw it once on late night television and couldn’t for the life of me remember what it was called. Netflix here I come…

You’ll love it Ron… great foolish foolish fun, especially for the fans of the many movies that it parodies. And Armand Assante, whom you normally do not think of as a funny guy, is hilarious.

Ties with “Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid” as my two favorite Carl Reiner-directed films.

Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid is one of the funniest movies of all time.

I love that movie.

I loved this one too but could never remember what it was called. I rented a few Fatal This-and-That movies at a local video store a few years back and never found the right one. Then I forgot about it.

Now, I know the right one.

Thanks again,

Ron

You know, if it were made today “Dead Men…” wouldn’t be nearly as good… there would be so much compositing and CG voodoo placing Rigby Reardon actually in those old movie scenes that it would destroy the charm.

The beauty of “Dead Men…” was that had none of that… made only with new footage intercut with the old stuff… with clever angles, body doubles, duplicated lighting, and flawlessly recreated sets. And pretty darn seemlessly. Pretty clever story construction, too.

Actually, that movie looks better on TV than it did in the theatre. On the big screen there was a noticeable grain difference in the old footage vs. the new… but on a television screen you barely notice it.

The only thing that bothers me about it is the blaring wall-to-wall music score… which I’m betting was done because 30 years ago (almost) they didn’t have quite the technology we have today that would have allowed them to cleanly remove the music track from the old clips… so a new loud track was overlaid to more or less blot it out.

Still, a great film though…still makes me laugh. The scene where Steve Martin makes the coffee is worth the price of admission alone.

[Todd Terry] “The scene where Steve Martin makes the coffee is worth the price of admission alone.”

I pretty much agree with all you said, but in response to the quote above, I would have to say that my own favorite scene is still the one where Rachel Ward removes the bullet from his arm.

Too funny.
